Sorry to all the staff that I angered/dissappointed with the locks. It was honestly 5-10 minutes of work to remove them. No matter what some may believe, the people that have known me the longest here on ECC know that my intention was not to troll anyone. I don't annoy people for fun.
Here is the story if you wish to read it:
I was jumping around spawn hitting blocks and was bored out of my head. I saw that random users had locked some blocks at spawn. I realised that their names may well be inscribed within the spawn of the server for a long time. Maybe even for the life of the server. I decided to do the same at tutorial and my reasoning was that since people did it at spawn, it was an okay thing to do. I wanted to put my name on ECC blocks forever because I am attatched to the server. I guess I wasn't thinking straight because I was sleep deprived at the time, but I locked the under construction area signs too and I am sorry about that. Sorry to iEvolvie for upsetting you and Skylexia you too. I was sleeping when Evolvie mailed me or I would have removed them immediately. It honestly wasn't that big of a deal in my opinion. With persist, one could have gotten the locks off within 5 minutes. If I hadn't done it though, someone else would have. It is inevitable when you build a public place and don't lock the things in it.
Anyway, I wanted to make my intentions clear before I left and let you know that your views of me may not be correct. I am not the kind of person to cause people to become upset for entertainment. And to be frank, I am a little hurt that you thought I did it just to troll staff. After all the time I've been here, people think of me in this way when something so insignificant happens and don't stop to think and give me the benefit of the doubt. Trolling staff is the very last thing I would do. I am very sorry for what offence you may have taken from my locking of the signs and I hope you bear in mind that I never meant harm.
Thank you for reading this.
Goodbye ECC.

I just wanted to add....
Everyone's been into Andrews house and has seen the numerous locks on every single item inside, along with many things at spawn. These have been accepted as a part of spawn and a part of ECC.
The problem really sits in the fact that you not only locked the help signs but you seemed to lock EVERY sign you could find. Personally, one mod had dropped a quick sign for me to fix something on another sign. Both the sign I needed to fix and the sign asking for something to be fixed were both locked so now I waste my time standing there trying to fix things and can't.
It's also a bit more complicated to unlock everything than for a SMOD to run around with persist on. First we had to actually figure out which signs were locked by a mod, and which were locked by you, since it was hit or miss on almost every sign. And frankly after doing a ton of lwc removal requests for players, its a bit of a pain to then have to hit 400 signs checking each one to see if its locked by you or an actual mod, and THEN remove the lock on each one.
Locking EVERYTHING in sight and thus making super difficult for us to remove the locks is why it seemed like you were purposefully trolling staff and wasting our time.
RagMan -
It took me 30-45 minutes that I needed to spend sleeping to unlock everything that you had locked, and then lock them myself so that no one else could, so that the mods could actually continue the work they needed to do. You really did lock every sign that you could find. I had to have two people running around telling me which ones were locked by you and which ones were legitimately locked, as well as ones locked by other users that didn't need to be there. Considering Tutorial Island is a work IN PROGRESS I have no idea why you thought that'd be okay, because a normal mod would need a supermod+ there to unlock things to work on stuff that still needs to be finished.
So label it what you want, but at the end of the day you trolled the moderator team, and that's the end of it whether it was your intent or not.
Sorry for adding here but I wanted to point out that it is a much bigger deal than you seem to think it is, and I'm a little offended that you're just shrugging it off as "oh it wasn't my intent".
